Nobody Ever Got Rich (by Making People Sad) Lyrics by ​the GOLDEN DREGS

Hope Is For The Hopeless

2019

Loose loose end
Tattered in pieces I know
Needles and threads won't mend
But I’m willing to give it a go
Sweet sweet heart
Such a crooked mind
And all the question that they’re asking
They’re not meant to be unkind
Mother raised you well
But she never sensed
The things that you could do
The places that you went
Your father he was drunk
And almost always right
He made sure that you
Grew up too fast that night
He speaks to God
‘Why’d I never got rich?’
‘Hey son, you know I never got rich?
I worked all my damn life and I never got rich’
‘Hey God, why’d I never got rich’
Tattered in pieces I know
Speak to God:
Nobody ever got rich
‘Hey son, you know I never got rich
I worked all my damn life and I never got rich’
Hey God
Nobody ever got rich
